QUOTE @ Santoony
Why would I vote Republican, they’re totally anti-worker, their deregulation of worker’s rights and anti-union policy are well known to those of US who actually watch the legislation these Bozos try to push on the public!
This country was founded by a group of wealthy plantation owners who depended upon servitude to increase their wealth if not for the Trade Labor Union Movement the majority of US would still be in servitude!
You told us your husband spent 10,000 hours volunteering at the VA, by that you mean he was driving the VA van..If he was able to drive that van he could have drove a truck or a bus and made an honest living,
there’s far too many of you folks on the sick, lame and lazy gang that think the world owes you a living.. But for you to come here criticize union workers or teachers people who have been taxed to pay your way on a trip to the Greek Islands and London really takes the cake!!!
correction; my typo fault...
over 20,000 volunteer hours! YOU are the true uninformed idiot here! Counties in MN have paid volunteers. IT IS THEIR JOB! Some counties pay drivers and take taxes out, others the drivers are considered self-employed and pay self-employment taxes. Cant get much more honest than that  The actual volunteer hours come from the actual volunteer work at the Mpls. VA hospital. And yea..I did travel the world...alot...a benefit from my working 3 jobs at a time!! (including self-employ status and we all know how much more in taxes self-employ pays...we had our own business!!) Dont be so eager to jump on the obamas-speculate-and-speak-before-knowing-the-facts train...it speaks to your factory-gossip mentality!!

QUOTE Irish Eyes...you are so incredibly predictable; as are most left-spinners!!! the only credible sources are your sources  yea, if you are easily manipulated and simple-minded!!! Left-spinners have long ago quit reporting accurate actual news and stats and have resorted to obamas chicago-style tactics of manipulation, chiseling and gouging the facts and replacing them with metaphors in hope that the simple-minded can more easily follow along I've cited the Wall Street Journal (that's hardly a "left-spinning" source), CNN, and Gallup. You've cited NOTHING, I Googled your stats and it comes right back to this topic because nobody else is using those numbers. As some point while training for your advanced science degree you must've had to learn about academic sources and making a bibliography. Put up or shut up, instead of complaining about a vast conspiracy just show where you get your numbers and info.
Irish Eyes you are a breath of fresh air...thank you!

QUOTE Then should we pay someone to drive the van? military service members wounded in duty or not should have the best care available. I do believe the person in question actually inlisted voluntarily. I was not in the service, I tried to enlist in 1984 but was rejected due to asthma. My dad and two of his brothers served in world war 2 one was shot in north africa, one was in france, and on was in Okinawa, another uncle was the Korean conflict, one cousin was paralyzed in Vietnam all but one of these have since died.
I’ve never use the V.A., I didn’t get out totally unscathed, I have ringing in my ears till this day (Tinnitus), I was jumping a bunker caught my ankle, my whole lower leg swelled 30 days before my DEROS, I was limping for a year after my discharge..still have occasional problems with that leg...
I never said we shouldn’t take care of those with actual combat related wounds! I’m saying this system is filled with fraud, folks with the entitlement attitude, People get sick no doubt about it but you can’t blame everything on the few years of service time.
The V.A. has income guidelines (now) but there are plenty of guys that think they're better than the rest of US with no combat wounds who managed to garnish disability pensions and use the V.A. like a revolving door, I have no more respect for these guys then one of the baby factories you referred to.
QUOTE None of them ever recieved care even close to the quality that this administration proposes we owe illegal immigrants, but I truly believe that the only agenda this administration has regarding low income and illegal imigrant is to try to buy votes and in the process we are eliminating opportunities for our own citizens.
The annual average number of deportations has approached 400,000, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That’s double the annual average during President George W. Bush’s first term and 30 percent higher than the average when he left office.
Did you forget it was a Republican President that opened the flood-gates with his Amnesty Program, thank Ronnie Reagan for our problems with illegals. Secretary Napolitano Obama’s appointee seems to sending them home, Obama's 2012 budget calls for increasing the the number of border patrol agents to 21,370. More boots on the ground at our southwest boarder than any time in history!
They, the illegals wouldn't be here at all if not for the American businessmen who hire them without documentation for a cheap labor that can’t be unionized, these American businessmen are Republican to the core, therein lies the problem...
I’m not thrilled about President Obama’s controversial immigration policy aimed at thousands of young illegals , but American business will soon be clamoring for labor, one look at the demographics of the boomers tells the story, we’re about to lose the largest segment of our employed workforce, the replacement numbers just aren’t there..It really makes little difference which party gets elected the boomer tsunami is rolling out of the workforce, there’s no stopping it...
QUOTE The don't give a damn about the common person
That describes the Republican party to a T, Do you even look at the legislation the Republican Party sponsors..You’re a workingman who’s been swayed by bought and paid for propaganda..

You"re the one with the subservient union thing going on.

20,000 hours of volunteering is the equivalent of working a full-time job for 10 years. Hats off, this truly an amazing number.
Or is this one of those fuzzy math calculations.
